The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) faces internal democracy challenges as five members of the Odinga family emerge as potential contenders for various elective positions in the 2027 General Election.

• Raila Odinga Jr. is seeking the Kibra parliamentary seat, while Oburu Oginga aims to retain his Siaya Senate seat, Ruth Odinga intends to contest the Kisumu governorship, and Winnie Odinga is reportedly considering a bid for the Nairobi Senate seat. Jaoko Oburu is also reportedly considering the Bondo parliamentary seat.
• The party must navigate these competing ambitions within a prominent political family, a situation complicated by the absence of the late Raila Odinga, who previously resolved such internal disputes.
• Potential rivalries and threats of leaving the party by incumbent MPs and aspirants underscore the test for ODM's nomination process.
